Can Church of England woman marry a Catholic man?

Answer 1

As far as I am aware no you cannot. My father was not a Catholic when my parents decided to marry in a Catholic Church. He had to be baptised into the church in order to get married there. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure you can;t.

SECOND ANSWER:

I am CofE, and married in a Catholic church. There is simply a different ceremony; you do not have to convert to Catholicism. However, there are additional (minor) complications, such as promising to bring our children up as catholics.

Answer 2

Roman Catholic Answer

This is called a mixed marriage (marriage between a Catholic and a baptized non-Catholic). It requires particular attention on the part of the couples and their pastors. Basically, it requires express permission from your bishop. You should talk to your pastor as soon as possible about this. If he approves, then he can get the proper forms submitted to the Chancery for the Bishop's permission. The following are the relevant paragraphs from the Catechism.

from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994

1633 In many countries the situation of a mixed-marriage (marriage between a Catholic and a baptized non-Catholic) often arises. It requires particular attention on the part of the couples and their pastors....

1634 Difference of confession between the spouses does not constitute an insurmountable obstacle for marriage, when they succeed in placing in common what they have received from their respective communities, and learn from each other the way in which each lives in fidelity to Christ. But the difficulties of mixed marriages must not be underestimated. They arise from the fact that the separation of Christians has not yet been overcome. The spouses risk experiencing the tragedy of Christian disunity even in the heart of their own home. Disparity of cult can further aggravate these difficulties. Differences about faith and the very notion of marriage, but also different religious mentalities, can become sources of tension in marriage, especially as regards the education of children. The temptation to religious indifference can then arise.

1635 According to the law in force in the Latin Church, a mixed marriage needs for liceity the express permission of ecclesiastical authority. (Cf. Codex Iuris Canonici, canon 1124) In case of disparity of cult an express dispensation from this impediment is required for the validity of the marriage. (CF Codex Iuris Canonici, canon 1086) This permission or dispensation presupposes that both parties know and do not exclude the essential ends and properties of marriage; and furthermore that the Catholic party confirms the obligations, which have been made known to the non-Catholic party, of preserving his or her own faith and ensuring the baptism and education of the children in the Catholic Church. (Cf. Codex Iuris Canonici, canon 1125.
